Thanks

Hi,

I've just had budget ditch finders removed off my daughter's iQ and replaced them with Goodyear  Duragrip tyre, £300 for all four, fitted, new valves, balanced and alignment checked (and adjusted).

Does it ride like a limo, of course not BUT it certainly rides AND steers better.

From previous experience (on other cars Michelin Cross Climate 2 give the best performance spread of comfort / grip / noise etc and have the advantage of M+S rating with snowflake symbol. I just didn't feel the use of the iQ warranted such a good all-season tyre hence why the Duragrips were chosen, you might decide differently and I wouldn't knock you for that.

Whatever you buy, make sure the tyre pressure is checked / adjusted to manufacturer guidelines.

Good luck with your choice 👍

Dave.

Hi 

Thanks ever so much, that's so helpful. 

I will look and compare the Duragrip and Michelin Cross Climate 2 as I am looking for the best performance with comfort / grip / noise etc so may well opt for the Michelin. 

Thanks again Dave, much appreciated.

I'm a great believer in new, quality tyres... the one thing between me and the road.

All seasons are slightly softer and on a previous car made the handling better and the ride more comfortable. I tend to create a starting point when I buy a car new to me, of new tyres all round.

Whether I can afford it or not...

Did you change your tyres, Wendy?

If so, what did you get?

The 65 of the sidewall should have a good amount of air, air pressure needed to be checked as mentioned above.
